    Hi,

    I think my kernal needs a recompile (no idea how to do this!) but essentially my problem is On inserting the modem

    lsmod grep usb gives me: usb_storage 34656 0

    unfortunately when I remove the storage (Eject the CD Volume) nothing switches,

    dmesg gives me

    usbserial: unknown parameter "vendor"

    I believe I need to add "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y" somewhere and some how, maybe am I just doing something dumb?

    I -think- this "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y" -story is a complete myth.

    ( configuration options for the kernel are either 'not set' : unavailable , =m : compiled as a loadable module or =y : compiled as part of the kernel. So, whether it is =y or =m should not make a difference. )

    After ejecting the cdrom, try this:

    Code:
    sudo modprobe onda vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001
    I am just trying, guessing, but it was the 'onda' module on the One that made the mf628 work.

    $( whoami )

    that seems to take me a little further:

    Initialy
    usb_storage 34656 1

    remove usb device
    usb_storage 34656 0

    sudo modprobe onda vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001
    usbserial 17440 0
    usb_storage 34656 0

    Fatal error 'vendor' isn't recognised, so sudo modprobe onda :
    usbserial 17440 1 onda
    usb_storage 34656 0

    wvdial, however, now provides the following error:
    --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
    --> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
    --> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
    --> Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory

    :(

    I would like to know if these numbers are correct, vendor and product, do they show up in the output of the command
    Code:
    lsusb
    , both before and after 'ejecting' the 'cdrom' ?

    Some more people have questions about the MF622 on Linpus.

    I think this device is supported by the current Linpus configuration. The driver is called 'onda'.
    ( /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/extra/onda.ko )
    But first you must get it beyond it's initial 'cdrom' stage.
    Not sure, but 'ejecting' it might help.
    Then the correct driver should be loaded automatically.
    Checks ( in a terminal ):

    ls /dev/ttyUSB*

    dmesg

    After that you can try using it, making it dial etc. with wvdial or other software.

    sudo wvdialconf

    should find the modem.
